Can't flash roms (Updated with fix!)

lkillen, are you able to flash AOSP roms? I can flash anything sense as well as MUIU, but anything AOSP leads me to an infinite boot loop consisting only of the HTC Evo 4G screen.

I am on Azrael so I can't use AOSP. Those are for non-Sensed Roms.

I don't venture too far off the plantation these days. I stay with pretty stock Roms like Sprint Lovers or Azreals unless I know I have a lot of time to kill.

Whatever you do, keep a solid Nandroid backup handy along with the latest RUU. Just when you think you got a PhD in Android, this things will turn upside down.

shift_ and some others over at XDA were trying to help me get aosp roms flash, but concluded that I had bad nand. I exchanged the phone and I now have aosp roms working. Thanks again for the reply.

Well I got it at Best Buy and exchanged there as well. That pink and blue stuff on my screen when I rebooted after flashing, which I mentioned earlier, no longer happens. My guess is that is indeed what it was. Anyway, I told them I didn't like the leaking at the bottom, that the back cover didn't fit flush, and that my 4G wasn't working when I was in Chicago over the weekend. I got a rev 0004, which seems more solid and doesn't have leaking, however the screen on this one is a Novatel and the bezel and back cover colors differ a little.
